[quote=Anonymous]my mom was a ridiculous yeller which sometimes strayed over the line into verbal abuse. my brother has never forgiven her for it and they still have a very difficult relationship. as for me, i vowed even as a child that when i became a mother, i would not act this way, and so far i've been *pretty* good about it. i have an almost-3 year old and a baby though. definitely can't yell at a baby :) there are certainly times when i have wanted to yell at my older child but managed to stop myself (like last night when he peed in his pants 2x in 5 mins, then pooped in his pants right after that, all because i couldn't be with him because i was trying to soothe his hysterical sister to sleep). so far, so good. hope the trend continues when they are older. as far as how it affected me, let's just say i'm in therapy.
